Toile.

Before we get started on the final manufacturing of our garment we made a toile first. We made it half size so that we could get it done sufficiently and quickly whilst being able to decide and experiment with the subtraction cutting as it can be different every time.  We used to contrasting materials in the toile which i think worked really well together and I think it's a good idea to use at least three fabrics for the subtraction part of the dress and it creates volume, layers and exemplifies all our ideas perfectly. 

This time we made the subtraction
rounder, as last time we
did straight lines and it was not
successful.

As we want to create a bra-shape
we drew it onto the garment
to create the best shape.

here we are trying to see where
the tunnels would work best.

we like the idea of having
one at the top of the
 garment and one near
 the bottom.

We now have an idea and an understanding of
how we are going to make our final
garment.
